Chapter 14 Fragrant Peaches
Liu Hao sensed something was wrong with his pet and looked down to ask, "What's wrong?"
Jinrui let out two more howls, his gaze fixed intently on Little Peach.
Seeing this, Ge Bai tried to push the little peach forward a bit.
Jin Rui became even more excited, leaning most of his body out and stretching his hands far out to reach the peaches.
Ge Bai moved the little peach back a little further.
Unexpectedly, the little monkey leaped up, ready to pounce on Ge Bai.
Liu Hao quickly grabbed him, and Ge Bai reacted just as quickly, taking two steps back.
Da Liu, who was watching closely, jumped up and shouted, "This wretched monkey wants to eat the little peach?"
At the same time, a willow whip lashed between Liu Hao and Ge Bai.
He knew that Liu Hao and Ge Bai were good friends, but he still restrained himself.
Ge Bai was taken aback. Eat peaches? That won't do.
She looked at Liu Hao and repeated Da Liu's question in confusion.
"The monkey wants to eat Little Peach? You can't eat this peach. My tree is a Golden Powder Peach Demon sapling, it's just transformed like this."
Liu Hao was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He hugged Jin Rui tightly and said urgently.
"Jinrui, look carefully, it's a spiritual plant, not a peach."
The little monkey, who was being held down, looked at the peach with pleading eyes, then at Liu Hao, and let out two howls at him.
The person and their pet were still communicating.
Ge Bai looked at the two of them helplessly.
Da Liu was very nervous, but Xiao Tao didn't react much.
After thinking for a moment, Ge Bai took out a bottle of seedling nutrient solution for his own Tao'er.
As carefree as ever, Peach happily stretched out her leaves to embrace the nutrient solution, then extended a small root to insert into the solution, sucking on it with a milky slurping sound.
Da Liu and Ge Bai's hearts melted at the sight of the adorable Tao'er.
At this point, Liu Hao and Jin Rui had also finished communicating.
"Bai Bai, Jin Rui doesn't want to eat peaches. He just thinks little peaches smell really good and wants to hug them."
Liu Hao explained, but his arms around Jin Rui didn't loosen at all.
Indeed, who wouldn't want to hug such an adorable peach?
Ge Bai looked at Tao'er; "Little Tao, would you like Jin Rui to hug you?"
"Tao Yao~" Little Tao said in her childish voice, "Anything is fine."
Big Willow, standing nearby, angrily swung its willow branches, shouting, "No way! That clumsy monkey can't hug Little Peach!"
Ge Bai really didn't know where Da Liu got such a strong protective instinct from.
He held Tao'er in one arm and stroked Da Liu soothingly with the other.
"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I won't let him take the peach."
As she spoke, she took two steps forward and said to Liu Hao.
"Stop hugging them, my little peach and big willow aren't too happy about it, let Jinrui pet them instead."
Jin Rui seemed to understand, blinking his big eyes and nodding vigorously. He looked extremely honest, but he still couldn't help but let his eyes drift towards Taozi.
Liu Hao was still a little worried, so he held the little monkey tightly and bowed his head again to give him some instructions.
"Jinrui, my little peach is so small, you can just touch it gently."
Jin Rui looked at his beast tamer and nodded vigorously.
Seeing their reaction, Ge Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Little Peach was sucking on the nutrient solution, not really taking it seriously.
Da Liu, however, had already gathered his spiritual power in his willow branches, ready to beat the monkey at any moment.
Jin Rui carefully reached out and touched the soft, tender peach.
Little Peach even stretched out a tender bud and touched it with him.
Jin Rui immediately flung her hand back and happily rolled around in Liu Hao's arms.
"Does he like peaches that much?" Ge Bai was shocked.
Liu Hao sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Didn't I know that Sichuan golden monkeys like peaches so much? I've never heard of that."
While complaining, Liu Hao didn't forget to communicate with his Jin Rui, since the little monkey's reaction was really not quite normal.
"Chirp! Chirp!" Jin Rui said to him excitedly, gesturing wildly.
Liu Hao only half understood what he was hearing, Ge Bai was just watching the show, but Da Liu understood it perfectly.
To be honest, Ge Bai didn't understand why there was no language barrier between spirit beasts and spirit plants.
The sound of "liu gu liu gu" is quite different from "ji ji ji".
Da Liu snorted coldly, "Does he need to say that? Everyone knows how fragrant Little Peach is!"
When Ge Bai heard Da Liu say that, he picked up the peach, brought it close, and took a deep sniff. He didn't feel anything special; it just smelled like a normal, sweet peach.
She was holding the little peach and studying it when Liu Hao finally understood the situation from Jin Rui, and that was the same explanation.
Smells good?! Ge Bai remembered.
With a thought, he opened the Spirit Plant Cultivation Chart and turned to the page of the Golden Peach Demon Tree.
【Species: Golden Peach Fairy Tree】
[Spiritual Power Value: Tier 0, Level 1 (7/100)]
[Skill: Peach Blossom Fragrance - Beginner (12/100)]
The spiritual energy level has increased a bit, which is normal.
But why did the skill points for Peach Blossom also increase?
Ge Bai never expected Xiao Tao to learn any skills, let alone teach her.
But she remembered clearly that when she signed the contract, the skill bar still said Peach Blossom Fragrance - Beginner (0/100).
Whenever Xiao Tao appears, she involuntarily emits a peach-scented fragrance? And this skill levels up on its own?
Ge Bai was somewhat incredulous.
But then she saw that the diagram had changed again.
[Skill: Peach Blossom Fragrance - Beginner (13/100)]
Silence, silence is the prevailing tone at this moment.
Ge Bai looked at Xiao Tao expressionlessly. During this time, Xiao Tao was being held by her the whole time, and she didn't feel anything unusual at all.
Xiao Tao, holding the nutrient solution, blinked at Ge Bai when she saw him looking at her.
"Peach?"
As always, she's a dazed and innocent little peach.
Seeing her like this, Ge Bai figured he wouldn't get any information out of her, so he looked at Da Liu.
"You can smell Xiaotao's fragrance too?"
"I can smell it, Peach Fairy Girl always smells so good."
"The peach flavor is much milder."
"But whether Peach Fairy smells good or not depends on her mood."
"Little Peach has been smelling sweet all the time."
Upon hearing this, Ge Bai realized that Xiao Tao was indeed emitting a peach fragrance all the time.
Isn't that a sure-fire way to win?
Ge Bai grabbed Da Liu and continued to ask.
"When you smell Xiaotao's fragrance, do you have any special reaction?"
Since it's a skill, the Peach Blossom Fragrance definitely has a buff effect.
The big willow tree swayed its branches and shook its head.
"I don't feel anything special."
Ge Bai was still persistent. Was it because the peach scent was too faint and the effect wasn't obvious enough?
"And what about when you first smelled the Peach Fairy's fragrance?"
Da Liu thought about it carefully.
"Feeling very pleasant? Actually, Peach Fairy rarely smells sweet. When she does, the surroundings become lively, the spiritual plants awaken, and there are more spiritual beasts."
Da Liu tried desperately to recall, but it seemed he couldn't think of anything more.
Seeing this, Ge Bai didn't insist and put it aside for the time being.
When you have some free time, go back and ask Peach Fairy Mother, or wait until Little Peach is a little older and ask her herself; that might be more reliable.
It's a good thing that Xiaotao can level up her skills while lying down.
"Bai Bai, what variety is your little peach again? A Golden Peach Fairy Tree?"
Ge Bai turned around and placed the small peach in the branches of the big willow tree.
Big Willow also touched Little Peach with its willow branches, adjusting the angle of its branches to ensure it sat securely on the willow tree.
"It's the Golden Peach Demon Tree. There should be peaches from this tree on the market. Why don't you go and buy him some of these peaches to try another day?"
Liu Hao nodded, making sure to remember the name.
As the two were talking, Da Liu happily led Xiao Taozi away into the distance, continuing to practice his willow whip and wind blade techniques on his own.
Ge Bai also pulled Liu Hao a couple of steps outside.
Liu Hao couldn't help but turn his gaze to Da Liu once again.
Seeing how curious he was, Ge Bai didn't hide anything from him.
"Da Liu has awakened attack skills, but he doesn't know many of them right now."
He then demonstrated the Willow Whip and Wind Blade skills by showing Da Liu what he was practicing.
Liu Hao was stunned: "Ge Bai, your weeping willow tree is one of a kind!"
Ge Bai smiled and modestly replied.
"I guess so. What about Jin Rui? Which skills has he awakened?"
Liu Hao said nonchalantly, "There are only two: dodging and dashing. Most golden monkeys can do these before reaching level one."
"Our Jinrui is almost a year old. He has mastered both skills quite well and I estimate he will be proficient soon."
Suddenly, a thought struck him, as if he had remembered something.
Looking down at Jin Rui, who was staring intently at Da Liu in his arms, and then at Da Liu in the distance, where the wind blades and willow whips were whistling in turn.
"Bai Bai, how about we let Jin Rui and Da Liu try sparring?"
